Real Estate Company Appraises Presentation Virtualization, Projects Hardware Costs Recoupment in 24 Months

Overview The Woodlands Development Company is the developer of The Woodlands: a 28,000-acre master-planned community located in Montgomery County and Harris County, Texas. The challenge would be whether Windows Server 2008 Presentation Virtualization and the Hyper-V features could provide a suitable platform for remote deployment of the Company's centralized applications. The Woodlands Development Company IT team decided to install Windows Server 2008 Enterprise on an HP ProLiant DL380 G5 server, deploying virtual machines for two servers running Windows Server 2008 Standard, to support approximately 100 users in a financial application for the duration of the evaluation.
